Claire Denis / FR, CM, 2009 / 106 min.
The threat of an approaching rebel army of child soldiers cannot persuade manager Maria to abandon her coffee plantation. She contemptuously calls her ex-husband a defeatist when he tells her he wants to leave the country. Isabellle Huppert delivers another brilliant performance in Claire Denis’ portrait of a group of neo-colonials who seem blithely unaware that their presence is not wanted.
Denis collaborated closely with French author and Prix Goncourt winner Marie N”Diaye on the script.
